Tony Ehrenreich was born in Parow in 1961 , but evicted under the group areas act when I was 2 years old . I grew up as a back yarder , living in my grandparents modified garage , with an outside pot toilet. I attended Norwood Primary in Sub A , which I failed . I then went to St Augustine’s Primary until Standard 5 changing between English and Afrikaans classes depending on the class sizes. My first year at High School was at Florida High school , an Afrikaans medium school . I went to Elsies River High school in standard 7 in 1976 , where I took part in my first mass march against the killing of children in Soweto and Apartheid.

In matric I was one of Elsies River High schools representatives to the Committee of 81 , a student organisation in Cape Town , leading struggles . I hardly spoke in the meetings , as the kids from the English schools
